Recycling in Stow, OH

Stow contracts with Kimble Companies for curbside trash and recycling, including two bulk items a week for full-service customers. The city's Urban Forestry Department takes small electronic devices at City Hall and cardboard at 5080 Stow Road to raise money for trees, and the city refers residents to Summit ReWorks for household hazardous waste.
